High School Speech Communication
This course is designed for high school students grades 9-12.
Speech making is fun! It is educational and empowering. My joy is to help students to find their voice and to use it to further the Kingdom of God.
The classical approach to speechmaking begins with Aristotle’s Five Canons of Rhetoric and the Common Topics. Students will be introduced to these ideas and apply them over the course of the year to understand the art of communication and persuasion in the form of speech writing and performance.
Students will learn various types of speechmaking. Some assignments may center on, but not necessarily include all of the following:,
This class is designed to teach and hone a variety of important skills needed for life including:
The Lecture introduces the assignment and prepares students for each speech project. Class discussion is encouraged and students will practice delivery skills in class prior to the graded presentation. Workshopping is a key aspect to this class – students will sometimes work on speeches in class, but will also give each other feedback and ideas for improvement.
Presentation Days: In order to prevent delays in teaching new material and to stay on schedule, students should look ahead to know when or if conflicts in his or her schedule require swapping his or her assigned presentation day with someone else in the class. Last minute requests to swap are more difficult to accomodate and cannot be guaranteed, yet I will do my best – some conflicts are unavoidable. Always advise Mrs. Schiltz of a presentation time swap or upcoming absences due to vacations or illness..
